New bismarck handle warp

Hello,

So today my brand new black dovo bismarck have arrived and i must say that while i love the blade shape, i have some mixed feelungs about the scales.

The problem is, the inner edges of the scales where the perlex is bond with the black plastic are kind of rough and on one place it looks almost like a warp (the bonding is solid thought). Its my first bismarck so im not exactly sure should i be worried about that or not. I wouldnt want my scales go warp in time...

The razor was bought nib shave ready from srd.com

Can you post up some pictures so we can see what it looks like?

I have a Bismark in red of 6 years old , is a nice razor but with the time lose the gold coat and star to rust a little . This quality of razor needs a little maintenance . Right now I have on my sink is a good razor .

The plastic handled Bismarck is an example of a really sharp looking razor where all of your money goes to the blade. The shoulderless design looks great, and the spine work and etchings are very nice. The handle is almost an afterthought.

It's probably not a warp but only a bad fitting but still I wanted to make sure.

Your razor is find , I check my Bismark and look same like your .
Enjoy it

If the razor is centering properly and opening and closing with no troubles warping is of no concern. Enjoy the razor in good health

I totally agree with this. Your scales look OK btw, maybe not the best finish work but I would be worried only if the blade didn't center well.

The blade centers so I guess I'm good

Thanks for the replies. Great razor btw.
